As a side note/game: imagine you're not particularly tech savvy. Now figure how much Mubi costs using only their website.
(Why? Why do companies do that??)

  This shows the price, what am I missing?

    I didn't even realize that page existed, and I'm a developer. Could I have found it if I was determined enough? Sure, of course. But starting from the homepage as an impatient average user, there's nothing obvious. I found it under "Gift MUBI" (which presents entirely different pricing schemes than what you linked) but that was after putting thinking and hopeful clicks into it. It shouldn't be that hard. Why isn't RIGHT ON THE HOMEPAGE?? It gives me the "Am I gonna have to call and talk to a human to cancel?" ick.
